This fragrance is very sugary, almost to the point of giving me a headache. The other prominent notes are sweet red apple and subtle cinnamon, neither of which does much to cut the sweetness. I get a little vanilla in the background, but none of the buttery or toasty notes I associate with pie crust. The overall effect is a lot like canned apple pie filling or a packaged apple snack pie.
The apple here seems a bit artificial, and is definitely a sweet red apple rather than tart green. To me, it's more of a bland Red Delicious apple than a fresh McIntosh. People who don't like the slightly leafy quality of a classic McIntosh fragrance or the tartness of a green apple fragrance might appreciate that, but I don't find it a particularly convincing rendition of a real apple, fresh or cooked.
The spice note is more authentic than the apple, and consists almost entirely of a mellow, powdered baking cinnamon note. There's a hint of something drier, like allspice or nutmeg l, but I don't get clove, ginger, or any suggestion of red hot candies. I think if you have a low tolerance for spiciness, but want a fragrance to evoke fall/winter desserts, this might be the right kind of spice for you.
Overall, this is not the apple spice fragrance I was looking for, and based on my personal experience as a home fragrance junkie, it's not exceptional in any way. If "inoffensive" and "sugary" are selling points for you, you might love it, and evidently some people do. But you can almost certainly find the same thing in a 100% soy candle elsewhere, and if you, like me, are a fragrance junkie, you probably already have something like this in your stash. I certainly do, and almost never reach for it.
